While the United States government continues to grow more and more permissive of chemically harmful and destructive farming methods, the United Nations has cried out further regarding our society’s need to focus on sustainable and organic food production methods.
This was one of the key points in the UN’s 2013 publication entitled ‘Wake Up Before It’s Too Late.’ The review was comprised of input from over 60 farming and environment experts all over the world.
While the title of the publication reads like that of an apocalyptic film, the information contained therein speaks to the urgency with which we need to approach developing and investing in sustainable farming.

The UN report states that we need to make major changes to our agriculture and trading systems, with emphasis on small-scale farming and food infrastructure.

Unfortunately however, incredibly lucrative deals like the Trans Pacific Partnership and US-EU Trade & Investment Partnership go directly against initiatives like the ones deemed necessary by the UN report.

These deals are noted by many industry experts as corporate attempts to tighten the grip that large food companies and financial firms have on the global economy.
